Chapter 862 Don''t Let Him Down
However, Tod was secretly d that Luci hadn''t been prepared for the Qi n''s tricks in the critical
battle. Unless something unexpected happened, the Cao n would definitely lose thispetition,
putting them in a tough spot.
At this moment, the sharp-eyed Freddy noticed that the participant the Cao n was sending on stage
was Juey, of all people. "What? Isn''t that Miss Juey of the Xiao n? Why is she being sent on stage?
From what I heard, she doesn''t know any Beast Curing Skill. Aren''t you just sending her to her death?
Luci, even though you are the chief of the Cao n, you don''t seem to be worried about our n at
all. You''ve just set us up for failure by sending a girl who doesn''t know the Beast Curing Skill at such a
critical moment!" he eximed aggressively.
Luci''s face darkened with a hint of embarrassment, but she had no words to offer in response since
she had just blindly trusted Rocky without knowing his n. She couldn''t tell them the truth, either,
because her uncles would use it as an excuse to ridicule her and take away her post as chief of the
Cao n.
"Luci, what do you have to say for yourself? If you don''t give us an exnation, we won''t let you go.
If the Cao n loses the Beast Master Contest this time, you better retire from your position as chief.
Otherwise, we will have to invite all the elders of the n and tell them what happened. That will just
cause embarrassment to everyone involved," Tod sneered, trying to drive Luci into a corner so that
she would give up her position.
"Uncle, why are you being so unreasonable?" Luci gave Tod an exasperated stare.
"Luci, we''re not the ones being unreasonable. You should take responsibility for failing the Cao
n!" Tod rebuked.
"Tod, this is not the time or ce for this conversation. We can talk about it after the Beast Master
Contest," Lucas interjected, furious after hearing Tod''s words.
"Very well, Master Lucas. When we return, we will surely tell everyone about this." Tod''s intention was
to add fuel to the fire and to hold the advantageous position. Although Lucas supported Luci, the Cao
n was probably going to lose the Beast Master Contest. Moreover, the Cao n had already been
defeated by the Qi n many times so far, which was obviously the chief''s responsibility.
Lucas just snorted and didn''t respond.
As for Luci, she bit her lip hard to keep her emotions in check. Although she looked calm on the
surface, she was a little afraid in her heart. If the Cao n did indeed lose, her uncles would spare no
effort to force her to give up her position of the chief of the Cao n. If that happened, the Cao n
would certainly fall into chaos.
There was a cold glint in Rocky''s eyes as he stared at the waiting area where the Cao n was. Then,
a wicked grin appeared at the corners of his mouth. It seemed that he already had a n.
The second round ofpetition began as Juey entered the ring.
Two spirit-manipted beasts with injuries were brought out to the diagnosis tables.
The beast curer of the Qi n immediately executed his garish Beast Curing Skill and began to
diagnose the spirit-manipted beast in front of him.
In stark contrast, Juey, who was standing on stage for the first time in her life, froze and looked around
timidly. Her heart pounded in nervousness when she saw so many people staring at her. It was not until
her eyes met Rocky''s that she finally calmed down.
There was a hint of expectation in his eyes that lit a fire within her.

''He has done so much for me, so I can''t let him down!'' she told herself. Finally, she took a deep breath
and began identifying the spirit-manipted beast in front of her.
However, in the eyes of the crowd, it seemed that Juey was just touching the body of the spirit-
manipted beast with her small hands instead of performing any Beast Curing Skill.
"What on earth is the Cao n''s beast curer doing? She isn''t even using any Beast Curing Skill..."
"If only I were that spirit-manipted beast. It must be fantastic to be touched by those delicate hands
of hers!"
"It seems that the Cao n has no talent at all if they''re sending a beast curer like this to represent
them."
As the crowd watched Juey, they began whispering in contempt among themselves.
In the waiting area, the Cao n members were all sitting stiffly. They all thought that it seemed like
Juey did not know anything at all.
At this time, Luci nced at Rocky. Although she was just as worried as everyone else, she believed
that Rocky would not have done anything to intentionally harm the Cao n.
From time to time, Lucas cast a nce at Rocky as well, always surprised to find the unchanging calm
expression on Rocky''s face. He didn''t know what was on Rocky''s mind either. How could Rocky be
sure that the Cao n wouldn''t be defeated?
Before the Beast Master Contest, Lucas hadn''t had much hope for Rocky. However, after seeing his
amazing strength and excellent martial arts skills, Lucas had developed an indescribable trust in this
young man. Usually, he would never trust an outsider easily. After all, he didn''t know where Rocky had
Just then, a cry of surprise came from the crowd. A sharp, strange de suddenly appeared in Juey''s
hand and directly cut open the body of the spirit-manipted beast that had been fed with anesthetic
on the table in front of her, sshing blood everywhere.
The stark contrast of a delicate girl cutting a beast like a butcher in full view of the public made
everyone squirm in their seats.
Even the people of the Cao n nched in shock. What Juey was doing looked more like murder
than treatment.
"What the hell is she up to? Since the Cao n was already going to lose miserably, did you just want
to make things worse?" Tod asked while looking scornfully at Luci.
Luci ignored him and shot a surprised nce at Rocky.
"Mr. Rookie, what do you think Miss Juey is doing?" Lucas couldn''t help but ask Rocky.
All the people of the Cao n turned to look expectantly at Rocky. Since he was the one who had
insisted on sending her on stage, he was the only one who might be able to exin what she was
doing now.
